I had this whole post ready to go about the 100th day of school, and then my Girl Scout leader meeting came.

Yesterday was the 100th day of school and GG's class didn't do anything. She was really upset, but it turns out that once they hit the 2nd grade, they don't celebrate things like that anymore.

LAME!!!

Anyway, this meeting of mine. To put it nicely... it sucked!!!

Every year the Girl Scouts from our area host a Sweetheart Dance. This is a father/daughter dance on or around Valentine's weekend. Beings it's right before V-day, this was the big topic of discussion tonight. First we had to discuss the menu. Of course, no one could agree on anything. 3 hot dishes with 2 salads, or 2 hot dishes, a sandwich tray, and 2 salads? Oh, but wait, there's enough people going where we can get 3 salads! You would have thought this decision was going to change the course of mankind! Just pick something and move on. We're all moms so it's not like we're the ones who will eat the food anyway! Father/daughter... ya, we're neither of those!

Someone who was not the woman in charge of the dance was going over the paperwork. The woman in charge of this event handed the papers over to the treasurer last month and never got them back so she assumed she was free from all decision making from that point on. Really?! Anyway, it was noticed that desert was not included in the meal plan (once they decided on that 45 minutes later!). Someone suggested we bake cookies and brownies, because they would be less messy than cake or cupcakes. As long as it was all on trays when we got there, there was no extra charge. I don't want to bake a bazillion cookies so I kept my mouth shut. Don't you know another woman jumped up and said, "I can make a huge and really good strawberry cake!" Um, didn't we just agree that cake was not an option?

And then we had to discuss when and where we were going to distribute the cookies. We know when they're being delivered, but of course no one knows what time.

Good grief people! The saying "Behind every good man stands an even better woman" definitely does NOT apply here!

I love that I can be involved in something my daughter s interested in and the other leader of our troop is awesome! But outside of our troop, this is the worst organized group of women I have ever met. EVER!!!

As long as I keep my mouth shut during the meetings, I figure I can't be suckered into being in charge of something I want nothing to do with. I would rather go back to my old job being in charge of a bunch of snotty 1 year olds than try to lead some of those women! I never thought it could get much worse than that job, but I certainly don't want to chance it. And just to clarify, I don't mean snotty as is brats. I mean snotty in the literal sense of the word. "Day care nose" ~ it's a real thing. Trust me!
